Paper And Plastic: A Competition In The Packaging Market

The Packaging Institute, under the direction of Assunta Camilo, highlights the vital role of plastic in various industrial sectors, despite the growing adoption of paper as an alternative packaging material. According to the Brazilian Association of Paper Packaging (Empapel), large paper-producing companies in Brazil are equipping themselves to replace plastic in some applications. However, the plastic industry, responsible for 33.6% of the packaging market that generated R$ 123 billion in 2022, maintains its leading position due to the unique characteristics that plastic offers.

Plastic Remains Essential In Many Segments

Despite some successful replacements of plastic with paper materials, such as in the cases of straws, disposable cups, and bags, Assunta Camilo emphasizes that plastic will continue to be fundamental in various categories, especially in the food industry. Plastic offers irreplaceable physical and mechanical properties, such as superior protection barriers for products, in addition to being lighter and more economical. These characteristics make plastic an irreplaceable option in certain types of packaging, particularly those aimed at preserving the quality and safety of food.

Investments In Recycling And Sustainability

Assunta Camilo also points out that the plastic sector has been striving to promote sustainable practices, such as recycling and material circularity. Although this movement is stronger in Europe, it is gaining momentum in Brazil. The sector is investing in technologies and processes that allow for greater reuse and recycling of plastic, demonstrating a growing commitment to environmental responsibility.

Conclusion

While paper continues to gain ground in some applications, plastic remains a key material in many segments, primarily due to its unique and indispensable properties. The Packaging Institute, through the voice of Assunta Camilo, underscores the importance of plastic and the ongoing efforts of the sector to improve sustainability. This balance between innovation and environmental responsibility is crucial for the future development of the packaging sector.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

The primate that science has called peaceful for decades has proven to be as aggressive as the chimpanzee in a study with thousands of hours of footage that debunks one of the greatest myths of primatology.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

A new agricultural irrigation technology developed in Brazil uses artificial intelligence to reduce electricity bills and save water.

A parachutist crashed into the giant screen of the stadium and hung from the structure in front of thousands of people while carrying the flag of the United States during an exhibition flight.

With floating cranes and millimeter precision, Japan erected the cable-stayed bridge of Kesennuma over the bay after the 2011 tsunami, lifting steel modules weighing thousands of tons during tidal windows.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

Social experiment leaves a bottle on the ground and reveals who ignores the trash and who picks it up right away, showing why clean cities live in more peace.
